| Horror 100 No. 73 (Previously No. 99). Made the Year he died, this wasn't Boris Karloff's last film... but it should have been. He plays horror actor Byron Orlok, who feels the real-life violence of today has replaced the horror movies of his age. It's a metaphor for the transition the horror movie experienced in the late sixties. The Hays Code was abolished, and movies like 'Night of the Living Dead' and 'Rosemary's Baby' carried images and messages taboo back in the golden age of horror. Director Peter Bogdanovich's message of disorganised youth is still relevant today; the villian of the piece is a mere teenager ("Is this what I've been so afraid of ?" remarks Orlok at the end of the film) who takes up a gun one day and blows away several people at random. 'Targets' is an incredibly powerful movie which deserves re-discovering. |
